I dont have any realtor that i am working with, i usually call the listing agent directly.

I am usually home by 5pm with every Sunday off, as well as alternating Wednesdays and Saturdays off.

I know I will have a negative cash flow the first months but I expect to break even within 5 months.

Remember, a campaign usually does not get a response until 3+ mailings.

If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is!

who pays for utilities,, if electric is separate,, let the tenant pay the cost of the stove..More units have electric stoves than gas in just about every apartment complex. because gas lines cost more to install and tenant usually always pays electric. 

In our state the EMD is usually small 1-2% then there are contingencies with the agreement.

I am having a little harder time finding the lower end properties I usually invest in but that is mostly because I have been tightening up my personal requirements and ratios.

Having several small to mid-sized banks located in the geographical area of your properties is usually what most investors have at that level.  

There usually isn't a ballpark figure as every house is different.
